    Default Shoft Field Landing

    A few Shots of the smallest runway I've seen in FS2002, Its 750ft long. Is there any runway shorter than this (besides carriers).
    Sorry for white boxes but all I have to edit photos is MS Paint
    :-(

    Runway doesnt look big enough to land on but its possiable :-)

    No room for error, just one bounce and your forced to execute an immediate go around.

    Touchdown at 45.5 kts IAS. Dont bother to flare. Time to step on those brakes

    There that wasn't so hard was it!.

    Try it with bigger and faster planes (within reason ofcourse, no airliners)

    You could probably eek out a few more feet by landing diagonaly.

    I got the nose weel off the ground before the end of the runway but thats all. I needed another 100 feet or so.

    And just to prove it as I forgot to do Shft Z to show you speeds. Note the time in replay.

    Ive found another short strip.
    Enogerra, just west, nth west of YBBN Brisbane. Its 1100 feet but has trees around and is on a bit of a slope and its dirt/grass, not marked clearly. Ive forgotton the ID for ENOGERRA.

    Go give it a go.
